David Minter
License Clinical Social Worker
I believe in the potential for personal and social growth in every individual. As a clinical social worker and therapist, my optimism for my clients’ success is boundless. Drawing from a wealth of diverse experiences and cultural knowledge, my counseling philosophy is family-focused, utilizing Interpersonal Neurobiology and Family Systems perspectives. My goal is to nurture and build relationships that integrate community resources for the benefit of my clients.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA, and a master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from Portland State University in Portland, OR. I completed 3,500 direct client hours and 100 hours of clinical supervision, and passed my ASWB national boards to become a licensed clinical social worker.
My professional background includes serving as a United States Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa, a Tennessee State Parole Officer, and working for twelve years as a case manager in therapeutic foster care with at-risk youth at Family Solutions in Medford, Oregon. I specialize in behavior management, outdoor recreational skill training, social skill group facilitation for boys and girls, foster parent training, case management, mental health assessments, evaluations, and developing treatment plans. Additionally, I have 20 years of experience working with children with Autism, deafness, and special needs. My practice includes Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
